2011 Treasure Hunt Review Game (this game should last at least 2 weeks in order to be effectively a 'review'
Primary does not get to move to another clue until song is sung to the best of their ability.
Have primary children practice standing, listening to full intro, etc… on each song.
Stop and go back and correct things as needed. Hopefully knowing that their working towards a treasure at the end will encourage them to work hard and keep their attention. Some songs will go fast and others will need work. You can put your songs in any order.
Have a list of all the program songs
A list of all the subjects taught in each song: Joseph Smith, Eternal Families, Our Prophet, etc…as outlined below.
Song clues are not listed with the clue. They are paper clipped to the back with the letter you are giving them. I just put all clue 1 information listed together.
So it should look liked this
Square of paper stapled to cardstock that reads:
Clue # 1
In a classroom? No, that's not for me…I'm used in the open for all to see. Standing up tall nice and black I help hold a book open so Sister Paladeni doesn't loose track.
Then Song choice and letter is paper clip to that…I hope that makes sense
Hand child all clue 1 stuff together.
To Start Treasure Hunt: Have teacher read:
In order to get your first clue there is something that we must do. On Sister Paladeni's count of 1,2,3 Stand up, stand straight, put your hands down to your side. Get ready to sing the first song and sing with pride. We've worked very hard now this is true…… sing this song your best and answer a question at the end……and then we will get our first clue!
A treasure is hidden somewhere in this room……but first we have to find all 8 clues.
So no more talking, lets start… get the keys playing…and we'll do our part!
Chorister starts playing intro 1, 2, 3 children stand up and sing our 'intro' song.

Clue # 8
The treasure hunt is finished and has come to an end. Here are two more letters now you can begin. If you can unscramble the letters you will see the greatest treasure you are sharing through singing is a? _____________________________
Letters given: 2~ T's
When the letters have been unscrambled you can open this treasure box. BUT…… before you open I have one final thing to say……………………………………
Explain to the kids before they open the treasure box. That it might be filled with silver or it might be filled with gold or it might be filled with money. Regardless of WHAT is inside this treasure box our testimony is the MOST important treasure we have. Explain that we have been preparing all year to teach the members of the ward and visitors about the following things by learning each of the songs:
Joseph Smith
Our Prophet
The Word of Wisdom
Eternal Families
The Holy Ghost
The Scriptures
Jesus Christ and the Atonement
The Plan of Happiness
Explain that as we sing these songs we are TESTIFYING to everyone through music that we know the messages we are giving through music are true.
Talk about feeling the spirit as we sing. Talk about never singing louder than lovely. Remind them to think of the words as they sing each song, etc..etc…..
I fully expect this review to last two maybe all three weeks of Sept.
Have fun
Angela
